Rave’s Fave: Tribes – How The Other Half Live

Tribes’ second album Wish To Scream won’t drop until May, but the single “How the Other Half Live” has hit the airwaves in the UK since being minted Zane Lowe’s Hottest Record In The World on Radio 1. Tribes is one of the best bands at combining older rock influences with a thoroughly modern feel. The new single not only continues in that tradition, and showcases growth on the pop side. Wish To Scream was recorded at the legendary Sound City in LA and the band stayed at a pad in Malibu with an ocean view. Talk about the best of both worlds, as Sound City of course is the subject of the new Dave Grohl film documentary. The Sound City room is famous for the drum sounds it produces, and you will appreciate that when you hear drummer Miguel Demelo’s driving beats on this track. By Bruce Rave
